This actor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may have had his MCU debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but his 2013 comedy movie is now trending on Netflix. The Guardians of the Galaxy 3 cast saw the return of many fan-favorite MCU characters, including leading characters Star Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), and Rocket (Bradley Cooper), among others, but there were also brand-new faces. Among the new additions to the MCU in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was Will Poulter, who played Adam Warlock in the movie.

The McU's Adam Warlock proved interesting, in part because there were several differences compared to Adam Warlock in the comics. At present, it's unclear what Adam Warlock's MCU future could look like, which raises questions about Poulter's continued role in the franchise. However, Will Poulter has been in a number of other movies, and one, We're The Millers, is now trending on Netflix,...

Netflix's choose-your-own-path sci-fi adventure Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is officially the internet's new favorite thing - Ok, save for maybe Bird Box. At the heart of the story is Stefan, an ambitious young video game programmer played by Fionn Whitehead, who tries to create an interactive video game based on a book. Throughout all iterations of his story, he crosses paths with famous creator Colin Ritman, played by Will Poulter. If you couldn't figure out why Poulter looks so familiar, we've got the answers for you right here.

The 25-year-old British actor has been working since 2007, when he starred in the comedy film Son of Rambow. His early career definitely leaned more into the comedy side of things. Alongside his classmates, he starred in the British sketch comedy series School of Comedy, which had a cast entirely made up of student actors performing adult-level comedy sketches.

Poulter burst onto the...

With the Hunger Games franchise inching towards its close – albeit with the final book needlessly split into two films for sadly commercial reasons – the Young Adult movie throne will soon be vacant. Divergent had a so-so stab at the title earlier this year, with Shailene Woodley's charisma improving the sketchily explained narrative and sequels on the way.

But while the Veronica Roth adaptation was certain a cut above tried-and-failed Ya novel adaptations like Beautiful Creatures or The Mortal Instruments, it isn't the undisputed champion of the teen audience arena, just yet.

So could The Maze Runner become the 'next Twilight/Hunger Games/massive cash cow'? Well, it's a maybe.

In this dystopian (well, of course) tale, sixteen-year-old boy Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) awakes in an elevator, which rises into a grass clearing – surrounded by ominous towering walls. He's got no memory of whom he is or why he might have...

Britain's Got Talent returns to our small screen on Saturday (April 12), and we've already been treated to a sneak peek at some of the acts we can expect to see on stage during the show's premiere.

But whatever happened to some of the show's most memorable acts from years gone by? What have they gone on to do following their appearance on the ITV talent show, we hear you ponder? Wonder no more with some of Bgt's past performers - from stand-out stars to the plain strange:

Faryl Smith

Mezzo-soprano Faryl Smith - then aged just 12 - blew the judges away and probably made Amanda Holden break down and blub with her beautiful rendition of 'Ava Maria' on the show in 2008.

Following her accomplishment as a finalist on the show, the singer signed a contract with Universal Classics and Jazz and released her debut album Faryl in March 2009. It went...

The first sin committed by Fox’s new sitcom Dads is that it’s a comedy that isn’t funny. The second sin is that it’s flat-out terrible: The pilot had a weird pace, hopscotching between at least three different sitcom concepts (workplace, wacky-family, cool-guy-in-a-bachelor-pad) and landing in talent-wasting mulch. From there, the story gets more complicated. Dads started a controversy over the summer when the show’s pilot was declared Racist by basically everyone who saw it. The primary offense: The decision to dress Brenda Song up in an Asian-schoolgirl outfit. Song is a former Disney starlet who...

The UK may be struggling to keep up with the rest of the world in the arena of football, but we’re at least producing some top quality actors. Here’s Matthew’s pick of upcoming talent…

In a review I read for the BBC film, Dive, it stated, "It is lucky that, at a time when we are failing miserably to produce young footballers, we are producing such wonderful young actors." I'm not exactly sure why one would make up for the other, but I agree with the assertion. We have some great young actors and our young footballers are rubbish. For me, that's the best way round, though.

Here's a list of ten young British actors whom I expect to be making big moves in the world of entertainment in the near future, if they aren't already. The list is based on some completely subjective criteria such as talent,...

E4 has confirmed that School Of Comedy will return for a second season next month. The sketch show features a number of young cast members such as Son of Rambow star Will Poulter. Returning characters include a cockney taxi driver, the White Van Men, movie executives Karl and Marv and the Museum Perv. Meanwhile, E4 announced that new sketches will focus on a pair of 1970s policemen, the mother of a mafia family, a businessman from the 1980s and Hector The Lookalike, who puts on a number of guises from Idi Amin to Gary Glitter. The show's producer (more)...
